It is indicated that humanism is based on natural human qualities that create and support it. The main one is humanity, or humanity, which includes compassion, care and attention to other people, the desire to preserve and improve the habitat, as well as respect and good attitude to all living things. Humanism covers not only ideas, but also rules of life, forming a worldview that offers individuals certain norms of behavior. It is noted that the reform of the criminal law and the penitentiary system, taking into account the humanization of such legal institutions as the execution and serving of punishments, made it possible to bring domestic legislation closer to international standards in this area. The need to humanize the serving of punishment as a condition for ensuring the legal status of convicts is due to several factors: increased attention to the legal status of the individual, since a person, his rights and freedoms are the highest value; the need to include the convict in the system of socially beneficial public relations; humanization of the activity of the criminal enforcement system, which involves respect for the rights, freedoms and dignity of the person, the openness of the system, as well as constructive cooperation with various social, human rights, religious and other organizations. As a result, the author claims, the process of humanizing the criminal-executive system as a whole in the conditions of its reformation is long and multi-staged. The positive outcome of this process is significantly influenced by changes in the economic, social, legal and other spheres, as well as criminal and criminal enforcement policies carried out by the state. Thus, in order to form in convicts the skills of a law-abiding lifestyle, the penitentiary system should be a model for them in the field of observing human rights and basic freedoms. Humanization has nothing to do with impunity and permissiveness. Humane treatment of the convict should be considered as an opportunity that gives a chance to return to society as a law-abiding citizen. This, in particular, includes the possibility in the process of corrective influence to restore lost socially useful connections.
